Cynthia and Mark hanging out in the Clifford room, which is one of Anthony's favorites. Who could resist the big red dog? Certainly not our little guy! On Sunday we got together for our now yearly June visit with Cynthia. This year we decided to head to St. Paul so she could watch Anthony play at the Children's Museum and then we went to her place to meet her cute five month old dog, Tyson, and have birthday cake to celebrate her 21st birthday. The afternoon was another great get together, which, as always, left us feeling very thankful that Cynthia is A's birthmommy and an important part of our lives. Mark and I can't say enough about open adoptions and are thankful that the relationship we have with Cynthia has transpired into something so genuine and filled with love. (I think my next career should be something in the adoption field. Matching birthparents with adoptive parents would be such a rewarding experience. Or perhaps I could figure out a way to simply volunteer my time to talk with individuals/couples who are on the adoption journey. Maybe hearing our story would fill them up with hope and make the process seem a little less daunting.)
Overall, it really was another beautiful afternoon spending precious time together. Our hope for the future is that Anthony will cherish our times all spent together just as much as the three of us.
Water! Playing with water was definitely another highlight of the afternoon. PLUS this room had sharks on the wall. Too cool!
Here's our attempt at a birthmommy and A photo. He didn't want to sit because there were so many other things to be doing. It's a bit blurry and he's definitely not smiling, but I'm still hopeful that one day we'll get a great photo. 
Yet another attempt to get a photo with A and his two mommies that love him dearly. Unfortunately, once again he didn't want to look and didn't want to smile. Oh well.
The roof was open and Anthony had a great time playing in the sand and painting rocks. Cynthia also loved having the chance to watch him play and see how big he really is getting.
